Despite the rarity of noncitizens voting, GOP officials in several states, including Alabama and Texas, are intensifying efforts to purge voter rolls of potential noncitizens, which has resulted in legitimate voters like Alabama-born William Pritchett being mistakenly flagged. This initiative is part of broader measures, including proposed constitutional amendments and new laws, aimed at preventing noncitizen voting, but critics argue these actions unnecessarily restrict legal voters and perpetuate false narratives. A 1996 U.S. law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections, and violations are punishable by fines, imprisonment, and deportation. However, the narrative that noncitizens are voting in significant numbers continues to gain traction, often cited by former President Trump and his allies. Concurrently, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party is under scrutiny by the RNC for allegedly recruiting out-of-state poll watchers, a move that may violate state election laws and further complicate election integrity discussions.
